Walk the Plank! Year 1, 2 and 5 experience pirate life!
Wed 22 May 2019As part of their pirate day, Year 1 and 2 all got the opportunity to walk the plank just like a real pirate. As a thank you for setting up, running and tidying up our pirate activities, Year 5 helpers also got a chance to walk the plank. The best pirate joke came from Year 1. Check out the photos below to see who won the chance to push Mrs Lloyd off the plank!

Y6 Science explanations
Tue 21 May 2019Year 6 have worked hard on these reports. We have learnt about the circulatory system and also acquired some new techniques for engaging and signposting readers. In addition, we have learnt about how colour, layout, diagrams and pictures can enhance the reading experience. We thoroughly enjoyed showing them off to Mrs Lloyd and to Year 5 this morning.

Sea Creature Junk Creations!
Fri 17 May 2019Year 2 have been focusing on re-using and recycling and what better way to do that than with some junk modelling!
The children picked their sea creature, planned what materials we would need and how we were going to make it. Our Year 5 buddies came to see what we were doing too.
We saw creativity, resourcefulness, co-operation and brilliant team work. It was just gorgeous!

Year 3 - Ready for Summer with Golden Turmeric Tie -Dye T-shirts
Wed 15 May 2019Well last week's Forest School was a bit of a wash out, no fires to heat the water to make our dye... But that didn't stop Year 3.
In the classroom, we prepared two big pots, one of salt water and one to make our all natural turmeric dye.
We started by creating our designs, wrapping white cotton fabrics in string and elastic bands. The fabric then had to be soaked in a hot salt water solution to help the colour stick. Using pipettes we created our designs with the bright yellow dye - aprons on! We had to wait overnight for the results to let the colour really settle. The big reveal was very exciting, each t-shirt and square of fabric was unique.
The children came up with some fantastic adjectives to describe the colour and smell of the fresh and dried spice and wrote great recounts of what they did.
Finally the weather has broken, and tomorrow children will be repeating the process themselves on an open fire in Forest School using beetroot and red cabbage to create their dye. Photos to come.

Aspiration Day!
Tue 14 May 2019The children were invited to come to school dressed in the job of their choice. We believe at Lickhill that children should gain knowledge about why we are learning certain things and what that will help them do in the future!
Our children have strong aspirations and goals in order to drive them to do their best!
Look what we came to school as…
(Thank you to the families that helped the children to organise their costumes!)
